3 In Officer Attack Face Judge

The three men charged with assaulting an off-duty Oklahoma City police officer appeared in court via video arraignment this morning.

Cadmio Lopez, Joshua Rinken and Jimmy Smith were all arraigned on charges of maiming and conspiracy to commit to felony.

Bond has been denied for all three men.

Prosecutors said the trio assaulted Officer Chad Peery when he was asked to help break up a fight at Dan O Brien's Pub on Feb. 15. Peery was having dinner at the bar when an employee asked him to intervene.

Peery suffered a broken neck as a result and is paralyzed. The men are due back in court on March 17.
